SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It eliminates the friction of coordinating many milestone phases by giving you a single terminal dashboard that helps you see progress, choose next steps, and dispatch work without constantly switching contexts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase dashboard with visual status: Summarizes all phases so you can quickly understand what’s done, what’s blocked, and what’s next.
  • Recommendation-driven next actions: Suggests the optimal next work to reduce idle time and improve flow across phases.
  • Parallel planning and execution: Runs discuss/plan/execute steps inline and in the background so you can keep momentum while work happens concurrently.

Quick Start

Start the gsd-manager workflow in the active milestone context that has ROADMAP.md and STATE.md, then keep the dashboard running until all phases complete.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate multiple milestone phases from one terminal?

You can coordinate milestone phases from a single terminal dashboard that presents phase status, recommends next actions, and dispatches work in parallel to eliminate context switching friction.

How does parallel workflow dispatch work for milestone planning and execution?

Parallel workflow dispatch runs discuss, plan, and execute steps inline and in the background, allowing you to maintain momentum while work happens concurrently across multiple milestone phases.

Do I need existing GSD commands and planning files to use this milestone manager?

Yes, this milestone manager requires access to existing GSD commands and the milestone .planning/STATE.md and .planning/ROADMAP.md files to resolve project context and dependencies.

What is the best way to track milestone progress and identify blocked phases?

The best way to track milestone progress is using a terminal dashboard that summarizes all phases visually, highlighting what is done, what is blocked, and what is next across the workflow.

Can I run discuss, plan, and execute steps in the background while planning other phases?

Yes, you can run discuss, plan, and execute steps inline and in the background concurrently, keeping momentum while work happens in parallel across different milestone phases.

Why does the gsd-manager workflow require gsd-sdk initialization?

The gsd-manager workflow requires gsd-sdk manager initialization logic to properly resolve project context and dependencies before presenting the phase dashboard and dispatching work.
